According
to Oxford Advanced Learners’ Dictionary “Ignorance” means lack of experience or
knowledge. In other words, “the state of being uninformed”. Absolute!
It has been discovered that human
being are ignorant from birth. It is only as we go through life and learn about
the world around us that we overcome the ignorance.
“It is bad enough that
people are dying of AIDS, but no one should die of IGNORANCE”. (Elizabeth Taylor). Apostle peter also said.
“And now, brethren, I wot that through IGNORANCE ye did it, as did
also your rulers”. (Act 3:17).
However,
ignorance itself is not a sin. But, ignorance of God and His commandment quite
often result in sin. Meanwhile, the greatest ignorance of life is when we
ignored God’s commandments. Moreover, all of mankind has sinned in ignorance.
We have all done something that we didn’t realize was a sin until later. Absolute!
Besides, Apostle Paul the most famous in the New Testament who wrote many books
has once killed faithful followers of Jesus, persecuted the church and beaten
the people called by God. However, God by His mercy called him out of his
ignorance, shaping him into one of the most zealous Christian the world has
ever seen. Our God is faithful!
Moreover, a better way to overcome
ignorance is to seek the right knowledge.
What
is knowledge? Knowledge is the information gained from study or
experience. But, the easiest way to
receive knowledge is to study (Spiritual,
Moral). The bible says.
“… I Daniel understood
by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah
the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of
Jerusalem”. (Daniel
9:2).
However,
the slight difference between “knowledge,
understanding and wisdom”. “Knowledge” is what we know or
what we have in our memory” Understanding”
is the deeper level of seeing how the
knowledge fits together and how it can be used while ‘Wisdom” is the ability to
take the knowledge and understanding and apply it. Very Simple! (Ignorance-
Knowledge-Understanding- Wisdom ).
Moreover,
the most important knowledge on the face of the earth is the knowledge of God
and His commandments. How can we get the knowledge of God? Virtually, by “Studying” the bible like the Bereans
Christian did. Read. (Act 17:10-11).
“Meditation” Read (Joshua 1:8) and “Prayers”.
Read. (1Thessalonians5:17). Absolute!
Result of
ignorance
Ø
We
become sinners. Read (Psalm 14:4).
Ø
We
can be destroyed by our ignorance. Read
(Hosea 4:6).
From the above submission, it is clearly stated that
“Only
those who work with God reach their destinations. Our prayer is that, may God enlighten the eyes of our
understanding in Jesus Name? Amen! If you are reading this article and you know
the way you are living your life is yet to glorify God. Take your life serious,
Jesus loves you. Give your life to him and repent of your knowing and unknowing
sin. If you are ready say with me.
Dear heavenly father, I come to you in the
name of Jesus. Your word says”… him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast
out”. (John 6:37). I know you won’t cast me out, but
take me in. I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the son of God; I
believe that he was raised from the dead for my justification. And I confess
him now as my lord. And I am saved. Thank you lord! (Testimonies, Contributions & Counseling
